Clean Air For All

Here's to hoping!

The Conservative government has had 5 years to #CleanTheAir in #OntEd schools. Ford has prioritized alcohol over student learning conditions, again and again.

We deserve a government that will finally prioritize our kids.

Props to @chandrapasma.bsky.social for her advocacy.

Ontario schools' air quality infrastructure isn't where it needs to be for the challenges we're about to face.

Our schools must be fit for learning, resilient to climate change, and capable of supporting the health and well-being of students and staff

Pandemic money was meant to clear the air in Ontario schools. Did it work? Where did the funding go?

Did Ontario’s COVID-19 funds clean air in schools? | The Narwhal Doug Ford’s government touted its investments in indoor air quality in schools during the pandemic, but there’s little proof of how it will help with climate change impacts

The Ontario government touted its efforts to improve air quality in schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those efforts could also limit the risk of wildfire smoke and vehicle exhaust, but there’s scant data on what was done and if it worked. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-scho...

Clean the air FFS.

If governments and organisations attended to indoor air quality, we’d be less reliant on masks to prevent transmission of respiratory infections.

Not gonna make a comment about other airborne things and who said what about them not being airborne. Just clean the air FFS.

Los Angeles Skies Are Deceptively Clear When is it safe to go outside?

"AQI is far from a perfect indicator of whether the air outside is okay," writes @andrewmoseman.bsky.social.

The skies may be clear, but don't put away your air filters just yet, Angelenos.

This is important info 👇

If you bought an off-the-shelf HEPA filter, you need to check if you're getting the right level of air filtration out of it.

Clinically vulnerable children are in schools and colleges unmitigated for airborne transmission. Covid isn’t only airborne in the US. Children need protection! @uklabour.bsky.social

Screenshot of the first few lines of the tool/webpage. Words: Air Cleaner Recommendation Tool Purpose of this Tool This tool helps you determine how many portable air cleaners you need and at what fan speed to run them, based on the size of your room or the number of people in it. The goal is to achieve the recommended cleaner airflow levels that can reduce the risk of spreading airborne microbes like SARS-CoV-2 in poorly ventilated indoor spaces. This is a non-profit service provided for the public good, with no commissions or sales on products or services. Choosing the Right Air Cleaners

Even if YOU are set with your air filtration #IAQ, give this quick tool a spin, and then share with w/ folks in your network.

Although I suspect supplies will be hard to find, here's instructions on building a HEPA purifier (Corsi Rosenthal Box). A good chunk of Ventura County is unhealthy air tonight, and it would be useful to have one or two of these running to protect your lungs. #airquality #AQI #CorsiRosenthalBox […]

Emergency department visits for kids ages 5-17 for respiratory viruses are trending up in Virginia on the most recent update. Schools started back just a few weeks ago, this shows how important it is that we clean the air in schools. Cleaner air will result in less infections.

So here's a tip for you that use humidifiers.

We just did an indoor air quality test with our @atmotube.com monitor.

With tap water, the air was "severely polluted"

With our reverse osmosis water it was on the edge of good/moderate.

There's a reason they suggest using distilled water.

If you have air filters in your LA home, it's a good time to change those filters - I promise they're clogged and ready

Ontario ain't ready. www.nationalobserver.com/2024/03/13/n...

Can't wait to start buying Manitoba cherries.

Thank you to our incredible donors for helping us continue to ensure that those in need of masks are able to access them. 😷 And thanks to our matching funders all donations up to $9,000 through December 14th will be matched! 💙 donatemask.ca/fundraiser

We just need $400 PER CLASSROOM for air cleaners that would reduce sickness and thus absences of teachers, students and their parents.

Investing in air quality in schools is an investment in our economy, present and future!

This holiday season, Doug Ford is gifting his insider pals a luxury spa and sticking you with the bill: It'll cost $400 for every single household.

Our poor kids. 😪

We can just vacuum this 💩 out of the air.

When I see a doctor who is judgmental of my COVID precautions, I see an 1847 physician who mocked Ignaz Semmelweis for suggesting that washing hands prior to delivering babies would prevent maternal deaths.

So, changing the air filters on the Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation System in Cork City.

Wait until the end for outside air filter. This is after 2.5 months, with coal fires only really kicking off in October or so.

Libraries are an investment. Not an expense
